| Traveling on a highway and hit a slight bump and a violent shaking started. the brakes were applied and i managed to pull onto the shoulder. the shaking continued until the truck stopped. almost lost control of the vehicle. after inspecting the vehicle, finding nothing wrong, i continued to my destination. an internet search shows this is a common problem, and the reports i read most consider it a very dangerous problem. *tr | |||
